- The irreversible catalytic gas phase reaction A → B₂ is carried out over a catalyst of which the composition is totally unknown. It was found that the order of reaction for product A is around 0.7 and that the addition of Blowers the reaction rate (at the same partial pressure, or concentration of A).
